Alan Gates updated PIG-712:
---------------------------
Status: Open (was: Patch Available)
The patch looks good. A couple of comments:
1) You set up a set of supported types at the beginning just for error
checking. As you do this in static code, this imposes a cost on pig every time
the jar is loaded. It would be better to do this with enums so they don't need
to be loaded or if you want to load them dynamically do a check when the set is
used to see if it's been loaded and if not load it.
2) There's no need for getTypeString(). Use DataType.findTypeName().

> Pig should provide utilities to create bag and tuple schemas. Currently,
> users return schemas in outputSchema method and end up with very verbose
> boiler plate code. It will be very nice if Pig encapsulates the boiler plate
> code in utility methods.
